Huge Improvement over last year's model

February 23, 2017

I just received the 930E today and have spent about 7 hours with this thing. I originally went with last year's model (930D) but it had bad vertical banding issues. I spent about 30 days with the 930D so here are my first impressions of the 930E vs the 930D:
First off, the improvements brought to the table by the 930E are not subtle. The screen uniformity is perfect. And no vertical banding whatsoever. I was a bit underwhelmed with the blacks of the 940D but here they're much improved. And so far I've seen little or no clouding/haloing in dark scenes with light objects. If anything there may be a tiny bit of light bleed into the black bars on the top & bottom when watching a wide screen movie, but it's minimal and really only noticeable from an angle.
The thing that jumped out the most were the colors though. Unbelievable colors. I haven't watched any true HDR material yet but with SDR stuff it's shocking how amazing the colors are. It seems a bit warmer in color temperature than the 930D but this thing is some serious eye candy. There's more detail to the picture too.
The other thing I'll mention is the frame. This is a heavier tv I think because it's a sturdier metal frame. Last year's model had issues with bent panels. No worries with that here. It's a bit thicker too, which I like. It just feels sturdier. The stand is very cool too.
I hope I don't sound too much like a Sony homer but they crushed it with this tv!

Phenomenal TV - poor documentation & remote

July 18, 2017

I recently purchased this Sony XBR65X930E as a replacement for an older Pioneer Elite plasma TV, taking a chance that I'd be as impressed with the black levels on the TV as the reviewers were. We recently moved and I needed a TV that could perform better in a living room with poor light control than my plasma TV. In spite of being a long-standing plasma (and now OLED) fan because of their great black levels, and even though the X930E is an edge-lit LCD, I am VERY impressed!
As the reviewers said, this TV a 'light cannon' (capable of over 1,300 nits - sustained) so it does an outstanding job in my living room, which has lots of ambient light during the day. Its light output also makes it an amazing TV for 4K HDR content!. Talk about 'pop'! The 4K images this TV generates are simply jaw-dropping.
Although I had planned to purchase an X900E since it is a FALD, I went with the (more expensive) X930E with its edge-lighting and Slim Backlight Drive Plus for several reasons:
1. Better black levels as mentioned above were supposed to be better than the X900E. I'm amazed that an edge-lit LCD can have such good black levels, without very noticeable (or distracting) blooming or haloing. (I watch TV at night in a totally darkened room with just a bias light behind the TV.)
2. Future Dolby Vision capability with a firmware update (as well a HLG capability). My 2016 OLED has Dolby Vision capability and, having seen Dolby Vision in action with streaming content, I'm convinced it's a great feature to have on a TV and provides a definite step up from HDR-10. I'm looking forward to seeing something 'substantial' with Dolby Vision on a 4K blu-ray.
3. This TV has an X1 Processor Xtreme, rather than the X1 Processor, like the X900E. This was important to me because I watch a lot of cable (a.k.a. horrible compressed signal) TV, and my LG OLED doesn't do as good a job as I'd like handling those poor quality cable signals, especially in darker areas of the image. The X1 Xtreme processor was attractive to me for this reason since it has a reputation for doing a great job of hiding compression artifacts, upscaling to 4K, and minimizing all that pesky countouring (banding) that I see frequently with cable content. The X930E didn't disappoint in this area. I was very impressed - once again!
Although it's just my wife and I watching at night, and we sit pretty much in front of the TV which is about 8 ft. away, I can just about start to see a hint of some shift in the picture when I look toward the extreme edge of the screen, but it's not bothersome to me at all (and certainly nothing like what I used to see with older LCDs!). So, yes, the X930E still has a problem with off-axis viewing (after about 15 degrees or so), but it's not the TV's fault - it's a short coming of the way LCD technology is implemented on most TVs. Surprisingly, this hasn't bothered me, or distracted me, one iota.
In spite of some Web posts saying that the Android interface on this TV (version 7.0) was slow, I've experienced absolutely nothing like that. It's extremely responsive and I haven't noticed any hang-ups or other problems. There really seems to be a LOT you can do in the Android App area and I haven't even explored a fraction of it yet. Sometimes the TV is a bit slow to switch between inputs/modes, but I'm not sure this is as much an Android problem as a problem with the TV in general.
The remote is not great, but usable. Perhaps I'm not used to it yet, but I find the remote a little cumbersome to use and a little anti-intuitive (at least for me). Maybe I haven't found it yet, but it would be nice to have a way to switch quickly between picture modes rather than having to go through the Action menus or through settings. Hopefully, there's a way to do this, but I haven't been able to find it yet, which leads me to the documentation and user guides...
I think the documentation that's supposed to support this outstanding TV is really terrible. It basically tells you nothing other than what you could find out by just poking around the menus yourself. I think it's a shame to have to search the Web to try and find out what some of the things on your own TV do! I can't fault Sony alone for this, however. It seems to be a very widespread, non-customer oriented trend among many (or most) TV manufacturers these days. (I'm using the documentation that came with my Pioneer plasma as a point of comparison. It was excellent.)
Overall, apart from the horribly inadequate documentation and poor remote (which both prompted me to take off 1 star for in my rating), this TV is absolutely outstanding. I would have loved to be able to step up to a Sony Z9D, but to be honest I'm glad I saved the extra money because this TV does everything I want it to do, and it does it extremely well - better than I ever though an LCD could.
As I saw one of the reviewers of the TV do, I really have to bow to the engineers at Sony for producing a phenomenal TV and working some real magic. I'm amazed at how far LCD technology has come since I had my first LCD in 2007. Fantastic job!
OLED TV vs. the X930E? VERY close, and each TV does something just a little better than the other. I absolutely love the blacks I get out of my OLED and it's great not to have to worry about off-axis viewing in my family room where the theater seats are spread out far off-axis. On the other hand, the light output from the X930E makes 4K HDR content look amazing, and the colors are just knock-your-socks-off vibrant. And as I stated earlier, one of the things I'm VERY happy about is the X930E's truly remarkable processing capabilities in terms of making low-quality content look good, and getting rid of those annoying contours when viewing a uniform background on the screen, and up-converting non-4K material to near 4K.
I love 'em both for different reasons! But I think if you have your sights on an X930E, you will be amazed at what a phenomenal TV it is. For me, this XBR65X930E with its Xtreme processor is definitely worth the Xtreme price tag. You get what you pay for, right?

Big improvement to last year model.

I have this TV for just 30 hours or so, and there's huge difference between the 930d to this one, viewing angle is way better, I haven't noticed any light bleed, HDR is amazing, and the colors unbelievable, I'm so happy with this purchase.

Amazing quality

March 13, 2017

This is an amazing television with a very high quality picture. I was talked into purchasing this TV by a friend instead of going with a Samsung or Vizio.
The TV is a bit heavier than most flat screens around the same size or larger which made it slightly more challenging to wall-mount.
I also have a PS4 Pro connected to the TV and it works perfectly. Very pleased with t his purchase.

BEAUTIFUL SET WITH ALL CONTENT

May 1, 2017

Will do my to keep this short. Will start by saying that it ha always been somewhat discouraging reading reviews of 4k tv's as most reviewers do not bother to explain what kind of regular tv signal they receive. We live where there is not enough wifi speed to stream 4k stuff, nor receive much of any ota signal. Our choice is satellite, and we have Direct. Purched the x930e 65 inch from Best Buy about a month ago. My deciding factor was reading reviews of past year sony 4k tv's with respect to how well they improve the picture with their upscaling prowess. Am on the bandwagon with the x930e and it's beautiful picture thanks to the upscaling.
I am also pretty amazed at how well the x930e is able to saturate the screen with it's color yet, still look very realistic. I also purchased sony's new 4k blu-ray player and hdr content is gorgeous. 1080p blu-rays are upscale so well that I won't be doubling them up by purchasing the 4k blu-ray.
We do have enough wifi speed to easily stream Netflix and the rest. Once again with the x930e's upscaling, it takes stuff like Daredevil, Mar Polo, etc, to a point a noticiably beyond 1080p. And again those saturated realistic colors...
To have been able to upgrade from an 9 year old plasma for under four thousand dollars-and that includes the sony 4k blu-ray player X-800, plus stupid Cali taxes, makes me feel pretty good. By the way, the blacks are quite good, and the blooming described by pro reviewers really isn't that bad, and I watch the x930e in a very dark room. I only hope updates appear automatically as I have not figured out the menu to check for updates.
Am now a sony tv fan-this is my second one, not the last. Got the bedroom to think about.

Hi 1340, We are glad that you enjoyed the quality and features of your television.Thank you for the positive feedback.-Jay

This TV rocks!

March 26, 2017

I bought an XBR65X830D and put it in my den and while it had a good picture the reflective light was ruining my tv watching experience. I moved that one to another room and bought the XBR65X930E and wow! The picture is incredible, bright and has dark smooth blacks. I have been casting 4K videos to it and it is simply incredible. There is still some reflection from room and sun light but it is not bad and when you get the lights down the picture is the best I have ever owned.
The speakers on this TV are decent as well. While I will be using my surround sound system I was impressed with the speakers that are built into the TV.
Really like and am enjoying this TV!
